The award was presented by Commander Navy Rear Admiral Charlie Lilli at an Automated Best Value System (ABVS) award ceremony, held during the Land & Maritime Supply Chain’s Business Conference and Exhibition.

“Marotta has been a supplier of superior fluid control solutions to the Department of Defense for over a half-century.
